This area contains tons of Fragments that require very
little effort on your part to obtain. For this reason, Yaschas Massif 100AF
makes for a great spot to go and relax after a particularly arduous series of
boss battles or other such side quests. Seek out the various rubies in the area
and speak to them to find the Fragments.

The first of the seven Fragments located in this area is the
Helmwige’s Nightshade Fragment. This is the first of the side quests that you
should take on, as completing it will unlock many of the following side quests
for your party to accept. You will have to find another of the glowing rubies
with speech bubbles above their heads to take it. Go to the Paddraean
Archaeopolis area to find the ruby and begin the side quest. Run to the dead
end to the right of the Pass of Paddra area and use Moogle Hunt to find a
hidden chest. Open the chest to collect the Picture Frame, the item that the
ruby was asking you for. Return the Picture Frame to the ruby to receive the
Helmwige’s Nightshade Fragment and 500 experience points in return for your
efforts.

The next Fragment is the Siegrune’s Spiritbloom Fragment.
You will have to have completed the previous quest to unlock this one. Go to
the Pass of Paddra area and speak with the ruby with a speech bubble over it.
You can find it sitting right next to one of the red, feral Chocobos. Head to
the Paddraean Archaeopolis area after obtaining the quest and walk into the
Command Center. You will find an invisible chest in the middle of the area. Use
Moogle Hunt to reveal it, and then loot the Bulb of Hope from inside. Return to
the ruby to obtain the Siegrune’s Spiritbloom Fragment and 500 experience
points.

The third Fragment is the Schwertleite’s Flower Fragment. As
usual, you will have had to have completed the previous quests to unlock this
one. Go again into the Pass of Paddra area, but speak with a different ruby.
This ruby is located in the southeast of the Pass, to the north of the Gate.
The ruby will ask you to collect the Comm Device item. In order to find the
Comm Device, you will have to find Chocolina and look into the pile of rubble
just under her. Use Moogle Hunt to reveal the hidden chest, loot it, and return
the contents to the ruby. The ruby will hand over the Schwertleite’s Flower
Fragment in return, along with 300 experience points.

The next Fragment is called the Book of Vahlalla Fragment.
This is located in the south of the Pass of Paddra area, where a Temporal Rift
will block your way. You will have to enter the Rift and solve several puzzles
in order to get past. As mentioned in a previous guide, these puzzles are
pretty well randomized, so you will have to figure out the solution for
yourself. If you want a primer on how these puzzles work, check out the earlier
guide “Final Fantasy XIII-2 End-Game
Walkthrough Part 14: Yaschas Massif 110AF Part 1.” Once you have completed
the puzzles, you will be able to proceed and receive the Book of Valhalla
Fragment and 500 experience points.

The next Fragment is the Graviton Core Epsilon. As with the
previous Graviton Cores, you should have obtained this already to beat the
story. If you are stuck at this part of the story, head to the Pass of Paddra
area and use Moogle Hunt to the northwest to reveal the Fragment.

The sixth Fragment in the Yaschas Massif 100AF area is the
Rossweisse Skyblossom Fragment. You will have to have completed the Helmwige’s
Nightshade, Siegrune’s Spiritbloom and Schwertleite’s Flower side quests in
order to unlock this quest. Once you have completed the aforementioned quests,
head over to the ruby in the northwest of the Pass of Paddra area. From here,
you will have to go to the Paddraean Archaeopolis area to find the Sealed
Tablet. A chest can be found at the base of the ramp that leads to the giant
stone head. Loot it to obtain the necessary item. Return the Sealed Tablet to
the rose in exchange for the Rossweisse Skyblossom Fragment and 500 experience
points. Completing this quest will also mark the appearance of a new waypoint
in the Paddraean Archaeopolis area, which will lead you to a Temporal Rift.

You will have to enter this Temporal Rift in order to begin
the next quest and obtain the last Fragment. This final Fragment is called the
Book of Shambala Fragment. Go into the Temporal Rift and you will be
transported to another Hands of Time puzzle. Again, there is no concrete
strategy for defeating one of these puzzles. It’s all about timing, counting,
and a little bit of luck. Completing the puzzle will get you the Book of
Shambala Fragment, 500 experience points, and a Wild Artefact. Congratulations,
you have now collected all of the Fragments in the Yaschas Massif 100AF area,
but there is still more to be done.

Also note that you can find a rare monster in these parts,
if you are trying to go for the quest that involves filling out your entire
in-game bestiary. This monster is the Deathgaze. It only appears in
Distortions, and even then only after you have completed all of the previous
side quests in this area. That said, the monster itself is not actually that
tough to beat. Deathgaze is highly susceptible to status ailments such as
poisoning and Deshell. The Deathgaze will sometimes drop the Gold Bangle item,
which is difficult to find. For this reason, it can be fun and easy to farm the
Deathgaze for rare items if you have a party that can dish out lots of status
ailments.

After defeating Deathgaze and adding him to your in-game
bestiary, you should be just about done with Yaschas Massif 110AF. Now head to
Sunleth Waterscape 400AF, where you will find several Fragments and side quests
awaiting you.
